New Microsoft Surface laptop goes after Apple

The Surface Laptop moves the needle all the way to laptop territory. It’s thin for a 13.5-inch laptop at 14.5mm, and at 2.76 pounds (1.25 kg) it’s lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Pro. The components inside are about what you’d expect from a premium laptop in this price range: an Intel Core i5 CPU, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD storage.
